"The staff was very helpful and friendly from the time we checked in until the time they offered us a late checkout. The restaurant menu was diverse and delicious. The pool area was kept very clean with lots of help. The drinks at the pool were served quickly and often . Only steps to the beach and Gulf made for a beautiful beach vacation !"

"Everything was great. My only suggestion is the villa needs a "community closet" for items to be left. For instance: we flew in on a Thursday. We were hoping there would be sand toys, etc there to use for our stay since we couldn't bring them with us. Since there wasn't I went and bought sand toys, sifters, a boogie board and a skim board for my teen girls to play with while we stayed. We couldn't fly back with them without paying enormous checked bag fees so we opted to leave them "for the next family to enjoy". I imagine the cleaning crew probably had to trash them however. I wish there was a "community closet" to donate such items to for the next family and that we could have borrowed from for our stay. Otherwise it's a fantastic place to stay. We were in villa #31 and it was very well stocked and comfortable and we would love to come back and stay again. The best part, they provide loungers and chairs to take to the beach to use at your leisure! How great is that!?!"
